Life has been difficult for the Dallas Cowboys and their fans over the last two months.
They’ve received poor quarterback play from guys like Brandon Weeden (who was cut Tuesday) and Matt Cassel, and lost seven consecutive games. But starting quarterback Tony Romo finally will return from his shoulder injury in Week 11 when the Cowboys take on the Miami Dolphins.
Romo appears ready to take on the arduous task of putting the Cowboys on his back and raising them from the dead. He sent out a distinct message to his teammates and the rest of the NFL on Twitter, using a clip from the movie, “Major League.”

Considering the Cowboys are 2 1/2 games behind the New York Giants and have a tough schedule with games against the Carolina Panthers and Green Bay Packers on tap, “winning the whole (expletive) thing” is pretty much what the Cowboys need to do to make the playoffs.
Fortunately for Dallas, it’s in the NFC (L)East, so the thought of Romo flying in with a cape on his back and saving the Cowboys’ season isn’t so farfetched.
